Seismic performance of pervious concrete column improved ground in mitigating liquefaction

Performance of Linked Column System under Seismic forces for Concrete Structures

Structures subjected to seismic forces must have adequate strength and stiffness to control inter storey drift in order to prevent damage to structural and nonstructural elements during excitations. Linked column concept for steel structures was proposed by Peter Dusicka et.al(2009) with the objective of utilizing replaceable components that are strategically placed to protect the gravity load ...

Virtual Pervious Concrete: Microstructure, Percolation, and Permeability

As the usage of pervious concrete continues to increase dramatically, a better understanding of the linkages between microstructure, transport properties, and durability will assist suppliers in mixture proportioning and design. This paper presents various virtual pervious concrete microstructural models and compares their percolation characteristics and computed transport properties to those o...

Effects of Vertical Ground Motion on Seismic Performance of Reinforced Concrete Flat-Plate Buildings

non-linear seismic behavior of concrete beam - column connections

a parametrik investigation was conducted to study the non-linear behavior of precast and cast-in-place reinforced concrete beam-column connections subjected to tabas seismic forces (1979). the behavior of these types of connections in a four stories structure with respect to strength, ductility , stiffness, and bond deterioration at the joint core are presented and discussed. calculation result...

The Use of Seashell by-Products in Pervious Concrete Pavers

Pervious concrete is a green alternative to conventional pavements with minimal fine aggregate and a high void content. Pervious concrete allows water to infiltrate through the pavement, thereby reducing the runoff and the requirement for stormwater management systems. Seashell By-Products (SBP) are produced in an important quantity in France and are considered as waste. This work investigated ...
